Freddie or Charlie?

Current top runners for boys. Which do you prefer? Thanks.

Maybe just Fred on the birth certificate?
Can’t say either name appeals to me though.

Frederick and Charles are both lovely.

Freddie and Charlie as stand alone names are not.

Charlie

Love love love Charlie, one of my all time favourite boys names, I think it works for a baby right into adulthood

Thank you. A fairly even split then! I do see the point about Freddie as an adult, but I don’t really like Frederick, so maybe that’s out. I don’t think DH is that keen on Charlie anyway, they were my two front runners and he did like Freddie.

Back to the drawing board I guess… we’ll find out the sex in a few weeks. We may still go with just Freddie if it’s a boy, but I do understand the need for a more ‘grown up’ name for when he’s older!

Freddie could be Wilfred/Alfred instead of Frederick
